Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy investing €120M over 5 years to develop fully integrated offshore wind-to-hydrogen system

Green Car Congress

Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy are joining forces to develop an innovative solution that fully integrates an electrolyzer into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronized system to produce green hydrogen directly. It is a prime example of enabling us to store and transport wind energy, thus reducing the carbon footprint of economy.

Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

The arrival of cheap battery storage will mean that it becomes increasingly possible to finesse the delivery of electricity from wind and solar, so that these technologies can help meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5

BloombergNEF: solar, wind, batteries to attract $10T to 2050; curbing emissions long-term will require other technologies

Green Car Congress

Deep declines in wind, solar and battery technology costs will result in a grid nearly half-powered by the two fast-growing renewable energy sources by 2050, according to the latest projections from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Each year, NEO compares the costs of competing energy technologies through a levelized cost of energy analysis.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

Greenhouse gas emissions will certainly grow too, because India’s energy generation is dominated by fossil fuels—coal-fired power plants for electricity, coal- and gas-fired furnaces for industrial heating, liquid petroleum gas for cooking, and gasoline and diesel for transportation. costs less than fossil-fuel-based electricity.

EPRI assesses status of 8 key power generation technologies for US; estimates of capital cost and levelized cost of electricity

Green Car Congress

Comparative levelized cost of electricity in 2025 ($/MWh) at different CO 2 prices. Representative costs are reported in constant December 2010 US dollars. LCOE calculations are based on assumptions regarding future unit operations, operating costs, fuel prices, financing terms, and inflation. Source: EPRI.

NREL Study Shows 20% Wind Power is Possible in US by 2024

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) released the Eastern Wind Integration and Transmission Study (EWITS). The study identified operational best practices and analyzed wind resources, future wind deployment scenarios, and transmission options.
